After over a decade, Chennai will be voting at local body elections on February 19th. The Chennai Corporation hasn’t had an elected council since the term of the last council expired in 2016 and so, citizens will be having a local elected representative at the ward level after a good five years and more!

Given the critical role of the city government in determining the quality of life in the city, it is important for every citizen to make a carefully considered choice. Through its election coverage, Citizen Matters Chennai enables readers to make informed voting decisions.
